I have just got a new to me R4-B, it is a clean set unmodified in anyway,
however it has an annoying crackle all the time, constant volume in the audio,
I am sure it is the main cap but just to be sure, ideas? it is just low volume
just like a commutator noise but in the background, it does alter volume with
the volume controls but goes away on AM although there is a bit of hum
detectable on AM , with the passband tuning control altered it sounds like
running water, most strange, all this with the antenna shorted. I am assuming
Hayseed is the best for the replacement main can capacitor. Anything else I
might add/change while it is apart, Looking on the web there is an Italian that
suggests some cap changes for better audio, has anyone done this, any good? Not
looking to do any irreversable or damaging mods, I wanted it for casual Topband
work.
